Great vibes and tour
We were worried our tour would feel like we were missing out on things due to some rainy weather from a tropical storm/hurricane coming in, but our guide Aaron was incredible. He took amazing care of the group driving safely in rainy conditions, he was incredibly knowledgeable on island history, culture, legends, and information. Importantly, we were able to see so many things on our tour today that we have a lot of really great memories to come home with. This was an excellent tour that I've already recommended to friends and family. Would love to book again the next time we're on the big island. ♥️

Ultimate Big Island Experience: Volcano, Waterfall, Beach & Lunch

Best tour guides on the island!
Desmond and Anthony started the day as strangers to us. Within a very short while we really felt like we had known them forever. How so? Their demeanor, kindness, thoughtfulness, and engagement with the whole of the group, plus their passion and enthusiasm not only for the tour but also for people too make it so.We loved their sense of humor, much needed when the weather turns a little bit wet! They know and love their homeland so much you can feel it oozing from deep inside them. What a team! What a great couple of guys! So kind, so friendly, so knowledgeable and so much fun. You will laugh, you will smile for days afterwards and you’ll cry when you have to say farewell at the end of the day.

Mt K Experience
In all my years of travel, I don't think I've had a better guide than Aaron. His passion for what he does spilled over to everyone on this excursion. We were hesitant with the impending Hurricane Nolo coming in the next day. Aaron was not only reassuring but he made adjustments and additions to our tour that extended the trip and added great value. Friendly, knowledgeable, safety-minded are just some of his attributes. Whenever I hear of someone I know who's visiting the big island, his tour WILL be the one I recommend. Well done Aaron! Mahalo!

Rae was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide, who took us to a variety of interesting locations and provided a value-for-money experience; and this was despite the inclement weather from a nearby hurricane and the closure of many state parks.

Justin Deserves a Five Star Plus Rating!
We booked this tour last minute when our cruise ship tour was cancelled due to an approaching storm. We were extremely pleased to meet Justin and spend a fun and entertaining day with his group. Despite difficult weather conditions, he put together many local sights with expert commentary. His warmth and enthusiasm made the day very memorable.

Seeing the volcano was the main event, but the Queen Liluokalani Gardens were beautiful. The Rainbow Waterfall was one of the more memorable falls on my trip. I learned a lot about volcanoes from Kemo. He was the best!

Best of Hilo/Best tour guide Kimo!
We travel quite a bit, and this was one of the very best tours we have been on. We went not only to volcanoes national Park, but to the waterfall tour and historic downtown Hilo but what made the trip the most enjoyable was our tour guide Kimo. He was extremely knowledgeable and very, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend him for any tour.
